1 Maccabees 10:84 In-Context

82 Simon led his force forward and engaged the foreign enemy in battle since the cavalry was exhausted. He overwhelmed them, and they fled.

83 The cavalry was dispersed in the plain. They fled to Azotus and entered Beth-dagon, the temple of their idol, to seek safety.

84 But Jonathan burned Azotus and the surrounding towns and plundered them. He burned down the temple of Dagon and those who had taken refuge in it.

85 The number of those who died, either by the sword or by fire, came to eight thousand.

86 Then Jonathan left there and camped against Ashkelon, and the people of the city came out to meet him with great ceremony.
